Description: | A complete folded copper alloy handle brace/ escutcheon probably from a cooking vessel, dating from the 14th-17th century AD (length: 48mm; width: 56.8mm; thickness: 6.2mm; weight: 26.57g). Of a trapezoidal form, at the widest end, the corners are folded over with a stretched and elongated rivet hole in between (length: 12mm; width: 6.9mm). The rivet is now missing. The artefact then tapers/ narrows to a smaller width at the opposing end, where there are two small rivet holes, although the rivets are also now missing (average diameter: 4.7mm). The hollow thickness of the escutcheon opens more to the narrow end, and would have originally be fixed to the vessel itself. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina.An identical example is illustrated in Margeson's 'Norwich Households: The Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-1978', 1993, pages 92-3, ref no 573. Another similar example is illustrated in Egan's 'The Medival Household: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London', 1998, page 179, fig 146, which is in the Museum of London.
